Who voted that down? Did I disagree with your favorite commercial media journalist? So sorry for the faux paux. So embarrassed. Will make mental note to pick extra cotton from your master's salt mines when my time comes to leave the shed next month. Hoping to save enough bitcoin to buy a generator for warm water to keep my niece alive. Blessed be! But what about THIS cat vid, cultural commentators? Amirite? That calico almost looked like a foreigner. Can you imagine!

....for me to get a side job at? Because I have no disposable income beyond keeping myself alive. So, great time spent on that app, comrade.

I wonder what Dan Brown would have to say about this.

...Capitalism has a soul?

There is not enough popcorn in the world for this right now.

Right on. The way I always saw it was that the NSA were the thieves, collecting data they did not own. Snowden, while accused of stealing secrets, actually set them free.

If I remember correctly, Snowden himself said in Citizen Four that intelligence agencies use aliases for assets and not targets. Which would mean that if any agents had actually been named in the docs, their masters saw them not as assets but as potential targets, which is damning unto itself.

The talk of need for separation of Church and State is one thing (and absolutely valid), but I think the largest threat to the world, indeed the largest threat the world has ever known, is the marriage between (American) State and (American) Industry. That's what the Snowden leaks have verified most.

So this means the NSA will be dismantled as a complete failure and total waste of monies spent, right?

I love his remarks on the New Age movement. Spirituality without some form of sacrifice has always struck me as unauthentic.

While standing on one foot and facing North, of course.
